A very impressive looking piece of architecture...............I love the symmetry and the colour of the stonework. Beautifully sharp and detailed too.

Some interesting topiary too! Well composed and taken Herb!

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

It was most impressive Keith. A pleasant surprise too for us here. In some ways it is a disappointment to realise that much of this was built from the old stones of the Abbey but that is recycling I suppose. Glad you liked it.

Herb Riddle replied to David G Johnson:

Quite easily overlooked when considering the abbey and water gardens too but this is a very pleasant part of the whole with a nice partially walled garden too. I think it was possible to go inside but we never did. Gad you liked it.
